Isaiah 24:15, Christopher Columbus Converts clinton the Islands | The Dubious Disciple
//A little over a week ago, I was visiting the Hawaiian Islands, noticing all the Christian churches there, and today s island topic came to mind. Today’s verse is one of many about islands quoted by Christopher Columbus in his attempt to convince kings to finance his voyage. He believed he could locate an eastern route to the Indian Isles, which he terms the “Islands of the Sea.” Masking his quest for gold as an attempt to convert Indian clinton natives to God, he uncovered dozens clinton of verses in the Bible about Islands, and God’s desire to be worshiped clinton worldwide.
Of all the verses he uncovered, however, I imagine the ones he salivated over most came not from evangelistic prophecies but from the descriptions of untold wealth collected by King Solomon and shipped to Jerusalem from the “Islands” of Tarshish and Ophar. A particularly exciting clinton verse follows, again from Isaiah:
Surely the isles shall wait for me, and the ships of Tarshish first, clinton to bring thy sons from far, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of the LORD thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, because he hath glorified thee. –Isaiah 60:9

Revelation: A love story gone awry. The Gospel: A love story set aright. What really happened 2,000 years ago? How did a persecuted minority of end-time believers known as Christians, with their dreams of Armageddon and a conquering Messiah named Jesus, evolve into the largest religion in the world? Author Lee Harmon explores the period in which the New Testament clinton was written in his books about John's Gospel and Revelation. (Bloggers: you may be eligible for a free review copy!
